about me
"The true rebel isn't the dropout, but he who infiltrates the system to change it..." - Jerry Rubin ( 60's Youth Movement Leader )
to be guided by spirit in
all of my thoughts
and actions.
to lead my life
in every moment
in gratitude,
wisdom,
compassion,
honesty,
and humility.

when you feel lonely...
feel lonely.
don't try to fight it
or hide it
or somehow some way deny it
and, still, in your alone-ness
take the time to see
that, in and of yourself,
you are whole.
really.
wholly...complete.
in your solitude
see the perfection that your vulnerability reveals
'i feel, therefore i am'
know that, as alone as I-you-we may feel,
we are, in all ways, connected with all that is
in this interweaving web of life
see that this completeness...

sometimes i feel an edginess with you,
i am only guessing it relates to
the way we've seen each other here, now
for almost ten years, and how
still, every time we're together
we get no further
than coffee talk,
or the latest weather.
is it you, is it me?
where, what, why is it that creates in me this desire to be
removed from the present, hidden away
under the guise of my 'self',
or really..just the self I Was, yesterday
Even though I know YOU won't run away,
even though Y...

when the streetlight was invented
a collective sigh was surely shared by all
(well, all those embracing 'civilization', anyways)
staving off the dangers of the
DARK SAVAGE WORLD
is that when,
as a society,
our soul-fire was extinguished?
when was it
that our morals collapsed?
"but that's our society, we're rotten"
so some of us might say
...as a whole?
maybe so...
but the last I knew
a society was made up of individuals
like me and you
and the individuals i know

"There is something that contains everything.
Before heaven and earth it is.
Oh, it is still,
unbodied,
all on its own,
unchanging,
all-pervading,
ever-moving.
So it can act as the mother of all things.
Not knowing its real name, we only call it the Way"
- Translated from the Tao Te Ching (from wikipedia.org)
Just as the stem of a banana tree does not exist
when it has been divided into parts,
the ego likewise becomes unreal when examined reflectively.
One might think that because no being can be discovered,
there are none on whom to bestow compassion,
but what is done even in confusion is because of a purpose.
If, however, there is no being, whose is the purpose?
The effort is illusory, but because it serves to tranquillize sorrow,
this delusion is not forbidden.
When, through my effort and by raising a cloud of merit,
may I make tranquil those who are troubled in the fire of sorrow?
When, by zealous and meritorious deeds
for the unveiling of the truth,
may I point towards shunyata those who see only fantasies?
